In 1999, after graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, Sean returned to Los Angeles and was featured in numerous commercial campaigns and guest starring spots. He made notable appearances in JAG as well as in films such as Waist Deep, Dead Man Rising, and in James Cameron's Avatar as Private Fike.

Hand- in-hand with theatrical performance, physicality and sport have been lifetime passions for Sean.
